Edinson Cavani was the star of the show, scoring both goals for Uruguay – either side of a Pepe header for Portugal.

Pereira, a summer signing from Porto, played the full 90 minutes, while Silva was replaced after 65 minutes.

Plenty of media outlets have given their verdicts on how the Foxes pair got on, and we have taken a look.

The Mirror gave both players a five out of 10 in their player ratings.

On Pereira, they said: “Naive at times but mostly just out of his depth. On this showing Premier League wingers will have fun down Leicester’s right next season.”

The verdict on Silva read: “Ran around looking like he knew what he was doing, but end product lacked finesse.”

The Daily Mail awarded Pereira a six out of 10, while Silva picked up a five.

“Too easily beaten by Suarez for the opening goal but was much better going forward,” they said of Pereira.

And on Silva: “Was barely in the game but did win the corner from which Pepe scored for 1-1.”

Our sister title, football.london, awarded Pereira a seven out of 10, but only handed Silva a five.

Here’s what they said about the former Porto man: “Running up and down the right side to provide the width Joao Mario could not, the Leicester City full-back was vital for Portugal as they tried to stretch Uruguay.”
